I know the SAE's of the world will :roll eyes: at this but I'm getting more and more excited about Vanderbilt and Washington coming in next year. They'll really compliment each other well, IMO.
Head-to-head video here.
Washington has a fantastic face-up game and Vanderbilt is incredible at getting into the paint and finishing. They could definitely be a helluva interchangeable (positionless? ha) 3/4 combo. Both have really good vision, major swagger, and seem to have a high basketball ball IQ.
In light of this I hope Gabriel has a solid last 2 months to the season and has enough buzz to jump. Thanks for your time ATKOT but peace out. Not a big fan.
- My redass hatboggan is people continuing to put a ceiling on this team because they suck (right now). Hello? We've seen trash teams make runs from out of NOWHERE each and every season. There are big problems right now with half-court O but there's too much talent to sit there and say, 'Sweet 16 team, Tops.' GTFO with that ****. I'm frustrated as hell too and Lord knows Cal pisses me off more than anyone but I just don't know how you can pinpoint a team's trajectory when the NCAA effing Tournament is involved. Too many things happen.
- Speaking of Cal, super secret text thread has duly noted that some of these 'national' guys are starting to whisper about underachievement with ALL this talent and relatively little to show for it. I welcome the blow back because I think Cal got a little fat to start the year.... I think the criticism will buckle him down a bit and hopefully begin to get **** right with these guys. He's not doing a very good job in terms of A) half-court execution B) Defense (why don't we press ppl, BTW?)
- Had LASIK done a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier with the results. Right eye is 20/15 and the left lagging behind at a clean 20/20. Commonwealth Eye Surgery, FTW. First class.
- Taking some Japanese to Merrick Inn tonight. Grouper (hata) fingers all around. Then heading to Central Mexico next week. Will I make it back across the border? Dunno but I will definitely stock up on the super cheap top shelf tequila, tho. Don Julio 70 bottle is like $25 down there. Ha. Need to get a really good bottle for my liquor cabinet so any tequila recs would be welcomed. TIA.
- Wonderful seeing the crew at the Hyatt pre-game. Bonzo is my boy- I love that guy. Thanks for the drinks, bud. I tried to look anth in the face and nod in agreement to everything he said. There wasn't enough room unfortunately to cross the arms tho... and with the LASIK done, the last thing I wanted to do was squint. Got to take it all in and see the sights.
